Scribbles

Today was a beautiful day.

The air was crisp and freezing, the sidewalks were slushy making it difficult to walk, the subway station was packed with frantic people fresh off their holiday and headed back to work, and big bold signs were posted in the ticket windows that read "METRO PASSES-SOLD OUT". But none of this mattered when I reached the subway platform and gazed at the beautiful new advertisements that lined the walls.

Take a deep breath. It's the moment we've been waiting for. It's January. It is officially mid-season!!!

My name is Alicia and I am a TV Junkie.

This is something I would have never realized had it not been for the look on Carey's face when he found out how many shows I follow. Part of that look was surprise because he hadn't even seen me watch most of my shows and that seems rather unbelievable since we live together.

You can imagine my excitement as I tried to take it all in. Some of these shows I already follow and have been awaiting their return. But most are new. After reading the breakdowns and submitting actors for many of these shows, my curiosity had grown. I have been waiting months for them to start and the time has finally arrived.

When I got home I checked out sidereel. I have an account with all my shows organized in a calendar and it keeps track of the last episode I watched. Sure enough when I scrolled to the bottom of the home page, the mid-season shows appeared in all their glory. They have been added to my calendar and we are all set to go.

On a side note, Carey and I finished the first season of True Blood tonight and of course I am hooked. I dont care for vampires or any other hocus pocus crap, but this show has a lot of blood, which I love, and every episode ends with a perfect cliffhanger.

I mentioned that I am not into hocus pocus. This is why you will not find me watching Heroes or Lost or Smallville or anything along those lines. I just can't get into them. But here is a list of my shows:

I gave some shows up because I felt they went downhill or I just got bored. I may pick up a few of them again but South Park was only put on hold because I needed a bit of a break and Carey doesn't really watch it, I will probably resume it soon.

I am really excited for Happy Town. It seems like my kind of show. Of course it was filmed here in Canada which might pose a bit of a problem from me... but we'll touch on why I hate Canadian television another time.

Anyway, I am totally in love with what prime time TV has become. Right now I find Television more entertaining than film.

I am sad that Glee wont be returning for a while...but Grey's is back next week and is crossing over with Private Practice. I believe this is the 4th cross-over they've done. I am very excited because I miss surgery.

I will probably dedicate a post to each show in the future, but until then I will be happy watching.

Stay Tuned....
